The Information Technology Centre (IT Centre) provides IT services and performs development tasks that are related to the core activities of the University of Miskolc or that are required by central regulations as a mandatory university task.
The IT Centre provides an e-mail address to students and staff of the University of Miskolc on request. The aim is that all students and staff have a University e-mail address and that official correspondence is sent via this address.
The IT Centre maintains a central directory database for students and staff, which is used to access several university services such as mail, Wi-Fi, Time and Attendance, HelpDesk, and off-campus services such as eduID, eduRoam. The advantage of the system is that the user only needs to remember a user name and password pair.
IT Centre provides free wireless internet access for students and staff on the University of Miskolc campus, which requires a central ID to activate.
The VPN (Virtual Private Network) service allows users to access the internal network of the University of Miskolc from outside the University of Miskolc network via an encrypted channel.
The service allows the employees of the institution to use the internal IT services of the University (Poseidon filing system, Time and Attendance, Project Time and Attendance, HelpDesk, ME-CARD application) from any point of the Internet, based on prior registration, in the same way as if the computer was located on the internal computer network of the University of Miskolc.
The HelpDesk is used to report IT problems that do not require significant resources to University of Miskolc staff. It is recommended to use the Helpdesk in all such cases, because the reports and the work done are documented and archived for several years. The IT Centre will consider the notification and, if it would conflict with a rule or require significant resources to complete, will indicate this to the notifier.
The HelpDesk is only accessible from the University of Miskolc network.
eduID is the identification service of the CIFA. It allows the user of the University of Miskolc to log in to a service provided by another institution through the University of Miskolc’s LDAP server. The user only needs to identify himself once during a session (single sign-on), making it fast and convenient to use.
eduID is based on an open standard and is available to any academic institution in the country. With eduID, group work can be ensured even with foreign partners.
eduRoam (education roaming) is a secure, worldwide roaming access service for the international research and education community. It allows students, faculty and staff of participating institutions to connect to the wireless network of any other eduRoam member institution, national or international, using their registration data (username, password) at any connected institution, e.g. the University of Miskolc.
The ME-CARD is a new card of the University of Miskolc, which can be used to identify the cardholder on the University’s territory, to access services subject to privileges and to obtain discounts from service providers on and off the University’s territory. The ME-CARD expresses the employees’ affiliation to the University of Miskolc.
The IT Centre operates computer classrooms, which offer the possibility to practice and use the Internet outside of class hours and exams.
The firewall service is used to filter out any unauthorised intrusions from computers outside the University of Miskolc.
The following software is available for active employees and students of the University of Miskolc:
Miskolc MS Office Clean Software. Please note that a new computer should only be purchased with the Windows operating system. Please note that the only way to use this service is to use only with a Microsoft 365 account.
IT Centre will send out HTML-based circular emails upon individual request after the Communication group has been enabled.
University e-mail addresses are receiving an increasing amount of spam. Unfortunately, the senders of these mails are always inventing new tricks. Our administrators are constantly improving and tuning the software rules of our spam filter. Mail that is classified as spam is not deleted by the system, but the subject field is modified with the text [SPAM]. In this way, all mail reaches the recipient and no important mail is lost.
It is becoming increasingly common for faculties and institutes to request a website. In order to avoid the unsustainable and IT-secure situation of users having to install and operate website systems themselves, the IT Centre has launched a website service, which allows portals to be set up and operated from an administration interface.
For IT security and operational reasons, the Centre for Informatics is seeking to remove individually installed websites and applications from the university systems. Examples include WordPress, Joomla. In parallel, we support the use of the website service launched by the IT Centre.
The University of Miskolc joined the ANSYS simulation software several years ago. ANSYS offers a comprehensive software package that covers the investigation of the entire physical domain for novice and advanced simulation engineers, providing a unified interface for engineering simulations and design processes.
The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Miskolc is reintroducing the latest version of a long-established and used software, Solid Edge, into its educational palette through an Educational Mentor Programme.
Students and faculty of the University of Miskolc are entitled to a free download of the Microsoft 365 office suite. Microsoft 365 includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and Microsoft Teams.
